本题详细解析:

C

$\underset{‾}{\text{Explanation}}$:
Statement I: an argument for trade protection is infant industries may be unable to compete against cheap imports from abroad, so tariffs keep infant industries competitive until they are fully established.

Statement II: national security concerns are a commonly-cited argument for trade protection, especially in the case of drugs, weapons, and essential goods.

Statement III: tariffs can be used to counter dumping by other countries, which happens when they sell their product at prices below cost as a way of getting rid of their surplus. This is unfair to domestic industries who may not be able to compete.

Statement IV: Less choice for consumers is an argument against trade protection, as it creates less variety in the imports of goods that are made available to domestic consumers.
